Highly awaited Game-Will Not DisappointReview created: 07/18/06

As most people say, Halo is what makes XBOX Popular. I disagree with this statement, but thats a whole different topic. Halo 3 is the most anticipated game for the XBOX 360. Many people held off to get an XBOX 360 until this November to get their hands on a copy of Halo 3. With this in mind, there is HUGE pressure on these authors, game designers, game engineers, managers, and Microsoft. With all this pressure on them to build not just a good game but a 'Freakingly Amazing FPS Game that will blow your socks off game of the year' these individuals are going to make the best freaking game you've ever played. Plus it has the Halo name on it too, so you know somewhat to expect, but there are going to be many additional features that is going to be put into this game.
Lets remember back to before Halo 2 was going to be released, this game was one of the best selling games to date. On its launch it sold MILLIONS of copies. Thats how big the anticipation was, and the only real difference between Halo 1 and Halo 2 is: new guns, new levels, new campaign, and XBOX Live. Thats 4 things, thats nothing. When making Halo 2 they knew that they would be making not just Halo 2, but they could forsee the launch of Halo 3 too. With this in mind, they didn't go overboard on making Halo 2, they only added in the necessary features to make Halo 2 a success, and have customers coming back to buy Halo 3, three years later.
Halo 2 was mainly used to get XBOX Live really going smoothly. Honestly, how many people actually played XBOX on the internet before Halo 2 came out? Not many people, there are tons more people playing xbox live now and thats soley because of Halo 2.
Additionally since Halo 3 is going to be the final chapter in the Halo trilligy its going to finish strong, and its going to finish on a great note. I guarantee that this game will be the Game of the Year, and people will be playing this game long after the life of the XBOX 360.
Only people who have never experienced the action of Halo say this guide is not helpful.

Halo 3 - The game every XBOX 360 owner should have28 of 42 people found this review helpful.
Graphics: Breathtaking 9.5/10
The graphics great. The rumors of an upgraded Halo 2, or Halo 2 like graphics is not true. With smooth framerates and stunning effects, you will be taken aback. Take some time to watch the backgrounds and environments and the detail of that went into these levels. This is after you clear everything that moves.
Sound: Amazing – 10/10
The sounds, music, effects, and voices take you immediately into the game. Surround sound is a must so you can hear the shots, shouts, and footsteps of the your opponents in this game. The score for this game heightens you senses, and truly brings you into the game.
Gameplay: Spectacular – 9/10
Smooth animations, large levels, smart enemies and A.I., big battles, and 4-player co-op = awesome. Without giving anything away, this is some great storytelling that gives way to some genuine wow moments.
Replay Value – Amazing 10/10
Multiplayer. That is all I have to say. This game has high replay value. Choose which way you would like to play online, but with the achievements, future downloadable content, 4-player co-op, and with over 1 million copies pre-ordered, and 4 million copies on retailers shelves in the first week, there will always be someone to play with.
Overall – Perfect 9.5/10
I am a fan of First-Person-Shooters (FPS) and all that is associated with them. I enjoy the emersion, and critique them heavily. This game allows you to “finish the fight”, but this game is so much more. The campaign brings closure, but it is the multiplayer aspect that will revolutionize XBOX Live and online gaming as we know it.
Halo 3 is Bungie’s 3-year project and baby, with unlimited resources from Microsoft, that was made to send Microsoft’s XBOX 360 to the next level, and it was worth the wait and money. With over 1 million pre-orders, this epic tale concludes with the highest pre-orders of a game to date. This game in campaign feels, and plays near perfect, and allows veterans and newcomers alike to enjoy and truly experience this game. The story line finishes up the previous two games, and is just long enough to make it feel right, and not dragged out. It took approximately 8.5 hours to beat it on legendary difficulty. It may be a bit shorter, though this was played immediately after a midnight sale of this game. The co-op was well done, and creates a new feel for campaign FPS games. I look forward to the future where this will be the standard in playing games.
The online is well done. Halo 3 has once again set the standard of what an online matchmaking/playing system should be. Putting together fun maps, objectives, and customizable Advatars, this game will appeal to the “newbie”, as well as the everyday online Halo player. With the Halo 2 system being overhauled, and the Bungie stat-tracker updated, this game will quickly become the number one game on XBOX Live.
I could write a five page review on this game, the battles, the enemies, weapons, and AI, but it still would not do it justice. If you have an XBOX 360, you should buy this, and buy it now. If you have thought about getting an XBOX 360, this would be the reason to get one. Does it live up to the hype? I don’t think anything could have lived up to the hype that is game received. This game was praised as the second coming, but what it is one of the best games of 2007, and is beautiful and fun to play.

Halo 3Halo 3 is one of xbox 360 greatest accomplishments, Microsoft's marketing slogan for "Halo 3" is "finish the fight," but it could more appropriately be "don't mess with success." With the exception of an amazing new feature that lets players create videos out of their gameplay, this third installment in one the best- selling videogame franchises of all time is remarkably short on innovation. While out-of-the-gate sales will undoubtedly be huge, fans won't still be buzzing about "Halo 3's" play a year down the road as they did with its two predecessors. If this game has a legacy, it will be in the tools it gives users to create their own Master Chief shows.

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you, this is 100% real. Here is what you do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do). The best offer to do is Consumer Direct. Its free, all you need to do is register and follow the instructions. And you’re on your way
There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free Xbox 360 Elite or cash (I did the Consumer Direct and it is free!). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 5-13 people or friends (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay or any other message board, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)
Then they will ship your Xbox 360 Elite or your selected item for free, I chose the Cash. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY! They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own personal link after your orders placed.
Step 1: Click my link: http://www.360Elite4free.com/i
Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and best).
Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Consumer Direct) and refer up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).

My husband and son love this game. We recently bought a used XBox 360, and they rented the game. They fell in love with it. I purchased Halo 3 as a suprise for them. I paid 1/3 of what I would have in retail stores, and half what I would have paid for it used at Game Stop. I would Definitely recommend this game for people who love shoot-em-up games, and strategy games.

One of the best games of all timeReview created: 07/07/08

photonbeam454 ( 8 )
I am a fan of the entire Halo series, and bought a copy of Halo 3 a while ago. It did not disappoint--this game is by far the best of the three in my opinion. The array of new weapons, the great storyline, the cool environments, the awesome graphics, and the terrific gameplay in general make this game a must-have for both Halo trilogy fans and casual gamers alike.
I really do not have any complaints with this game, except maybe that the singleplayer storyline could have been longer. Increasingly harder levels of difficulty instill a lot of replay value, though. Of course, there is also co-op mode (which is a blast) as well as multiplayer (which is amazing as well); you could spend a ton of time with this game and not get tired of it.
All things considered, I think every xbox 360 owner should try Halo 3 at some point; Bungie did an amazing job of making a game that delivers on all levels.

Halo 3Review created: 07/05/08
by:
First off I have to say that this game is amazingly fun to play and theres not much if any cons to this game. Alot of people told me that you have to have this game but, the only problem was, was that I didn't have an Xbox 360. So I went out and bought one and got Halo 3 with it. After playing the game for about a week I reliezed that this is not a game that someone would by a system for just to play.
